In London, passengers were even collapsing from the heat when their trains were stalled on the tracks. One passenger told BBC News,
“It’s been unbearable, like a sauna, I had to get out of my seat because I felt like I couldn’t breathe.”
Some trains were reportedly stalled due to overhead wires breaking in the heat.

While Malaysians are definitely no strangers to this type of weather, many of us are probably unaware that trains in the United Kingdom are usually not air-conditioned. In fact, only the newer lines on the London underground are air-conditioned, making it a luxury for commuters travelling during this heatwave.
What do you think about the British public’s reactions to this heatwave? Let us know in the comments section!
